Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton Got into a Twitter Fight

The fight to elect the next president of the United States devolved into a battle of the memes on Monday night. Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush—or whoever was manning their respective social feeds—traded a number of pointed barbs on Twitter, complete with pithy graphics.

Clinton’s staff tweeted a link to her newly announced plan to reduce the cost of higher education, and included an image that read “$1.2 trillion. The amount 40 million Americans owe in student debt.”

Clinton’s tweeters didn’t take it lightly. They let Bush know that they “fixed” his graphic and pointed out that Florida received an “F” rating for “college affordability under Jeb’s leadership” from the Center for Public Policy and Higher Education.

Seemingly befuddled as to how they should respond to that charge, Bush’s team diverted the conversation to taxes, and posted a version of Clinton’s campaign logo refashioned to indicate that she would raise taxes.
